    Support for Chaintech AV-710 in Linux?

    I've been wanting to move to Linux for my primary desktop (i'm using it at work, and have gotten accustomed to the way things work, and that they work). The only thing holding me back is playing music through my computer... Anybody know if there's support for the AV-710 in hi-rez mode? If I...

    Headphones for cycling??

    Howdy folks, I've been doing a lot of road riding recently, and I'm looking for a set of headphones that will work well for that purpose... I've got KSC-35's, which don't work very well because of the wind noise associated with them, but I'm looking to stick with the (mostly) open phone -...

    Best Home Value around $100

    I've been recently bitten by the Head-Fi bug, and am looking for an amp for home use. I've currently got a set of Ultrasone 600's (which I'm not sure the impedance of), and I'm looking at Beyers or possibly the Senn 5x5 series for upgrading in the near future. I'm interested in getting an...

    Help!

    Howdy all, I found this site a few months ago, and have been addicted ever since (y'all should add 'sorry about your productivity' to the stock 'sorry about your wallet' greeting).

    Ideal settings for AV-710->Foobar

Thus far, I haven't had much luck finding a setup that I...

    buzzing in SR-60's

    I picked up a set of Grado SR-60's a few weeks, and I've been noticing a slight buzzing in the right earcup on bass-heavy tracks... It's not loud, but now that I've noticed it, I can't stop listening to it, and it's driving me crazy. Anybody have any suggestions? I'd be really dissapointed if I...

    Received Grado SR-60's... A little help

    I recently purchased some used SR-60's, which arrived a couple days ago. I've been listening to PortaPro's for the last few months, directly from my Chaintech AV-710 sound card. I eagerly ripped the Grado's out of the box, and plugged em in to the sound card (which is on hi-rez mode, fwiw)...

    Mod options for AV-710?

    I'm not sure if this is the proper place (if not, mods: please move to the proper place ) but I recently acquired a Chaintech AV-710 sound card and was wondering if there was any potential on modding it to improve the sound... I don't know a lot about DIY audio, but I can use soldering iron, and...

    Quick comments on PortaPros

    Howdy all, **Warning -- Newbie Content** I just received my PortaPros in the mail today, and I've been listening to them through my Chaintech AV-710 and Palm Tungsten variously throughout the day, so I thought I'd post my initial impressions. These are my first set of 'real' headphones...

    Cheap MP3 player that uses SD media?

    Howdy, I own a Palm Tungsten T3 that I use for portable listening, and recently purchased a 256 mb SD media card for it. I was wondering if there's a cheap mp3 player that I could just pop that card into, in order to listen to mp3's while exercizing. I'm afraid to introduce my palm into that...

    Howdy folks... I'm looking to buy my first set of decent headphones (mid-fi, as it were). I've been reading and searching obsessively for the last couple weeks, but I still have a couple outstanding questions that I was hoping y'all could help me out with. Basically, I'm your typical poor...
